I might be mistaken, but I suspect that the the Nikon PK12 lacks any kind of electrical contacts. The only ”automatic” in the PK12 is a mechanical aperture coupling? A very old Nikon design? Will it work with G lenses? Check the Q&A in the link you refer to.

I checked my collection of old Nikon gear, reversing rings, conversion rings etc, but could not find any PK12.

As stated by BobORama, some lenses due to their optical design do not play well with extension tubes.

If you want to go beyond 1:1 it it probably better to use corrected closeup filters. The ultimate closeup filter is of course a proper lens. This leads to use of stacked lenses, which is a subject in itself.
